Better to short on every RISE ,at for few days now.
Any way next couple of days will judge the course of market action
because expiry is over.

BB(20,2) of nifty futures and bank nifty, on time frame 5 min are presented below.

Case1.Choppy Market:

Go long when Red+Green candles of comparable lengths pierce the
bottom band(Keep case.2 in mind also always) and wait for 15minutes for
confirmation after taking position, otherwise come out with stoploss.Please see that RSI
value is around 25-35 and you have sufficient time left for closure of market.

Go short when Green+Red candles of comparable lengths pierce the top band
(Keep case.2 in mind also always) and wait for 15minutes for confirmation
after taking position , otherwise come out with stoploss.Please see that RSI value is around
75-65 and you have sufficient time left for closure of market.

In case of Verital rise or Vertical fall ,the above rules may not work & have close
look at the central line and outer boundaries always.Perhaps this may qualify for
case.2. A close of candle outside the bands need not necessarily mean
termination of trend but it be continuation as well. Have patience to keep a watch
on those situations.

Case2.Trending Market:

If the candles are concentrated in Top band ONLY go Long.
The middle line turns into WHITE. Candles over White line.
If the candles are concentrated in Bottom band ONLY go Short.
The middle line turns into MAROON.Candles below Maroon line.
Rules of Case.1 do not work here and keep Mid line as stoploss.
The Proximity of candles with respect to Outer boundaries indicates the
Strength. More strength means more closer to Outer boundaries.

Avoid trading when the Bollinger Band is Narrow and Horizontal.Check with
Nifty-Spot chart occasionally, especially in the initial stages.

BLUE line........................10 day EMA
White+Maroon line............20 day SMA

In case a drastic fall white turns into maroon.
Bull market.......Blue line over white line.
Bear market......Blue line under Maroon line.

is it true that we should always use BB in conjunction with RSI
without them, it will be only useful as a normal resistance/support line (as in a bar chart)..
am i right?

100% correct.Use BB either with RSI or with Stochastics will certainly help.
But to many indicators make the Graph clumsy.
Using pure BB is far more useful than mere Sup/Res. lines in my opinion.
Because they score over lines because they are CURVED.
